"The Worlds Fair of Creative Ideas"
At a time when we are globally connected like never before, we have the opportunity to collaborate in new, meaningful and purposeful ways to discover.... What's Possible.

Join us in San Francisco for "The Worlds Fair of Creative Ideas" where industry experts and leaders will come from around the world to work with attendees -- together we will build the tools needed to create thriving communities.

After a quarter-century, the Bioneers community of leadership has learned a thing or two about breakthrough solutions and what directions to head in. Like a magnifying glass channeling sunlight, the “Growing The Movement” theme is designed to help focalize this wealth of community wisdom, skillfulness and vision into beams of action.

The Economics of Sustainability conference will focus on the intersection of Economics and the Environment.

What will the Earth look like in 2030, 2050, or 2100? Can we organize economic relationships to honor the carrying capacity of the Earth? Can we implement economic models that respect the Earth and its finite boundaries?

How will we mitigate the effects of climate change in a way that honors the Earth and puts people before profit?

Programs will include workshops, networking meetings, action groups, and outstanding presentations from economists, scientists, activists, and leaders in the environmental movement. The goal is to launch a platform for systemic change -- economically, culturally, politically -- and to network organizations for collaborative efforts in that pursuit.

The Monetary Reforms
The main focus of the conference will be for researchers to describe and make the case for the kind of monetary
reforms advocated, presenting both the logical and historical basis for them, and the mechanics of implementing them.
Extensive question and answer periods and panel discussions can air doubts or concerns regarding the desirability of
the reforms and suggest refinements. Included will be discussions of research and thinking methodology.

In the spirit of our ‘Strategies for a New Economy’ conference at Bard College in 2012, and our ‘ReRoute: Building Youth and Student Power for a New Economy” convergence at New York University in 2013, we will be bringing together a diverse group of the New Economy’s most energetic thinkers, practitioners, and newcomers. We intend to share practices, tools, and stories; highlight achievements; and create an environment that propels existing work and powerful innovations forward.

400+ inspired participants. Dozens – even hundreds – of worker cooperatives in all stages, from concept, to conversion, to growth. The U.S.'s leading lenders, funders, educators, and businesses supporting the cooperative economy. International guests bringing their wisdom and perspectives.

Much store is now put upon the idea that capitalism can recover its elan and exit the grumbling crisis that now besets it through the construction of a cognitive, creative and ethical capitalism that rests on the activities of so-called creative classes. We dispute this thesis and aim to show how an alternative to capitalism is not only possible but necessary if a better, more democratic and more socially just future is to be procured for all. To this end, we bring together creative thinkers and practitioners from around the world who are exploring alternatives outside the imprisoning box of conventional capitalist thinking. An anti-capitalist alternative is already in the making. Our aim is to mark and celebrate its creative possibilities.

The New Economies Conference will focus on how the City of Jackson can and will start building the city of the future today through the inclusion of cooperatives and other forms of wealth creation based on the principles of solidarity, participatory democracy, and economic and social equity. With visionary leadership and strong community support, not only can we diversify and grow the economy of Jackson, but we can make Jackson a model center of cooperative and business development in the country.
The New Economies Conference will start this development process by focusing on the following:

“Rules Change: The DC Gathering” is a two-day summit – presentations, circle-round discussions and workshops — to learn about fundamental change in our economic system, how it affects corporations, people, markets and democracy, and what is being done about it.

"Our mission is to seek and disseminate truths about the terrible crimes committed on September 11, 2001, exposing gaps and deceptions in the official story, and to thus inspire more eyewitness revelations, truthful media coverage, and a movement that will bring the responsible criminals to justice and eliminate governmental and corporate policies that enable criminal elements to commit such acts."

This is a great way to get the word out to massive numbers - and to remind yourself and others that we are not alone. We meet on the Berkeley pedestrian overpass and display banners of peace, truth, justice, and accountability to all the traffic passing underneath. We have a few huge banners ("9/11 Truth for Peace", and "Expose the 9/11 Cover-Up" for example), so all you need to do is come out with your positive attitudes and mingle with fellow activists.

‘Operation Terror’ the 9/11 Hollywood thriller full length movie is coming to Berkeley — Saturday, October 19th — and will be simultaneously streamed on the Web

You can attend this event in person on Saturday, October 19th or watch the web-stream anytime from October 19 to November 30th. The web-stream is world-wide and will cover the whole event including the movies, the speakers, and the question and answer period.
